Northcott - Cedarcrest Falls Dark Teal Multi Dark Trees by Deborah Edwards & Melanie Samra

Rich, moody and full of depth, this print from Cedarcrest Falls by Deborah Edwards and Melanie Samra for Northcott layers watercolour trees and foliage in deep shades of dark teal. Leafy canopies, fern-like fronds and fine branching twigs tumble over one another in forest green, emerald, seafoam and dusty aqua, set against pools of inky navy that give the design real depth. Streaks of warm caramel cut across the foliage like late-afternoon sun through the branches, and glimpses of bright turquoise peek through here and there, giving it the look of a deep, shady forest.

Up close it’s full of detail, but from a distance it reads as a rich, textured teal-green, making it a wonderful blender with plenty of character. Use it for backgrounds, borders, binding and quilt backs, or in larger blocks to anchor lighter prints. It’s a natural fit for nature-inspired and landscape quilts, art quilts and jewel-toned colour schemes, and the deep blue-green tones make it a great choice for quilts for men too. Pair it with its lighter sister print, Cedarcrest Falls Light Teal Light Trees, or with navy and emerald blenders, sage greens and creams. Add rust, copper or mustard to pick up the caramel streaks.

This quality quilting cotton is easy to cut, piece and sew. It’s ideal for patchwork and quilting, cushions, table runners, bags, wall hangings and other sewing and craft projects.
